Why do photos look fab when first imported and flick to being dull and lifeless after a few seconds

as the question says I'm tired of looking through my newly imported images and being delighted with what i see but a second later the image goes flat and looks so dull

Becuase what you see first is the JPEG preview generated by the camera.  I suspect you have it set to "vivid" or the like.
Aperture cannot use the JPEG preview in its rendering so it makes its own rendering, which is what you see after a second or two.  It's probaby more accurate than a "vivid" preview, but you can always create an import preset which jacks up the saturation to your liking, if you want.

  • When I start iPhoto it opens up but shut down after a few seconds. Any advice please?

    When I start iPhoto it opens up but shut down after a few seconds.

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. If that does the same or you can't create a new library try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • TS3274 when i go into an app,i get kicked out after a few seconds.

    everytime that i try to go into an app,I always get kicked out after a few seconds of being in an app.

    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Outlook 2013: Imported or copied items from .pst file disappear after a few seconds

    I am migrating from an open source email platform (Axigen) to Outlook/Exchange 2013. The Axigen system uses a connector for Outlook allowing users to use Outlook as a client.
    To move from Outlook 2010 with the Axigen server to Outlook 2013 with Exchange I have exported the entire mailbox from Outlook 2010 to a .pst file which I am then trying to import into Outlook 2013.
    The import process appears to complete successfully and the imported items show up in Outlook 2013 - but only for a second or two. Then they disappear completely, nowhere to be found. This happens with  ontacts, emails and calendar items and the result
    is the same whether I import the entire mailbox or just a folder at a time.
    If I OPEN the .pst file into Outlook 2013 everything in it looks perfectly OK, I can view items with no problems, all folders are there with their correct content. Now if I try to move or copy
    items from the opened .pst file into the Outlook 2013 mailbox, I get the exact same symptoms as when importing. Items show for a couple of seconds and then disappear. If I copy or move a
    folder, the folder remains in the Outlook 2013 folder tree but the items in it disappear.
    Why would items be perfectly visible and readable from an opened .pst file but disappear when they are copied into the new 2013 mailbox?
    They are not visible in OWA either, btw, so this is not just Outlook not displaying them, they are really gone. Checking the folder size in Outlook shows an empty folder (size 0, 0 messages). I have tried the /cleanviews switch when starting Outlook.
    This has me completely stumped. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    More strangeness:
    I set up an Android phone to sync with this account just now. I imported my contacts list from the phone into the Exchange account. After sync, all the contacts are perfectly visible on the phone, but NOT in Outlook 2013 or in OWA...
    So maybe it is some sort of display filter thing after all? 
    That's unbelieveable that message is visiable in Android phone through Exchange ActiveSync but cannot be viewd in OWA...
    For the database session, we may enable
    Exchange Mailbox Audit logging(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff461937(v=exchg.150).aspx) to check if the message is indeed upload into DB from Outlook.
    For the client level, please enable Outlook logging to log what happens inside outlook to aid in your troubleshooting.
    We can enable Outlook logging in Outlook 2013 under File > Options > Advanced > "Other" section
    Log files are created as .etl files and stored in %userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp.  A new log file is created each time Outlook starts.
    Cheers,

    Okay, I have enabled Outlook logging. However I cannot find any way to read those .etl files.
    I also enabled audit logging in Exchange but as I understand it that will not log operations performed by the mailbox owner, only non-owner access. 
    I think I am close to giving up on this. I can't believe an enterprise email platform will simply delete messages copied into a mailbox without any error message whatsoever, and no way for an admin to track what is happening.
    It is definitely happening when syncing with Exchange, so there must be something in these items (and
    remember this happens not only to email messages, but also to Contacts) that makes the Exchange server decide these messages should be discarded witout warning.
    One other thing: Folders copied from the .pst are visible on Outlook (although their contents are deleted) but not on ActiveSync clients. If I create a new folder in the mailbox, it syncs as it should.

  • Why pdf files close automatically after a few seconds?

    I recently re-installed Acrobat XI Pro and when I now open a pdf files it closes automatically after a few seconds - any one knows why and how to solve this problem?

    You may have to reinstall or do a repair, one of the two. I would start with the repair from the help menu. Then do the updates also in the help menu. See if that fixes the issue. If not, you may have to reinstall. If you reinstall, use http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and then remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder, reboot, and reinstall. Then do the updates.

    Incorrect. iPhotos is not removed at all. It can still be used as long as you have kept your Software up to date. Otherwise

    Is it stopping recording after 8 seconds? Are you using Garage Band?
    If both of these are correct:
    This is actually a feature (i'm not sure why it defaults to this).  Instructions for the iPhone version are below:
    With the amp section open, touch the sproket on the upper right.
    You should be in a "settings" type area with three tabs.  Touch "Sections"
    Select the section and switch it to automatic - it will now record until you stop recording by touching the stop icon.

  • I had to reinstall Abode CS3 Web Premium. Why is Acrobat 8 closing after a few seconds on Mac Os X 10.6.8, when it used to perform perfectly?

    I've searched through the web and this seems to be a recurrent problem that affects various versions of Acrobat. I've reinstalled Adobe Web Premium after a clean re-installation of Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Acrobat 8 used to work fine, but now it closes after a few seconds - no crash, just closes. I tried to clear the preferences folder and I had to introduce the serial number again. When I re-entered it, it says it's not a valid number, although the number works fine on Photoshop.
    How can I solve this?
    Thank you

  • .mov import - loses sound after a few seconds

    Hi, this is my first time posting in a forum and using a video editor so I'm a REAL newbie!  I have several .mov files that I took from my video camera that I am trying to import.  When I add the first moving to the timeline the video looks great.  However, the audio drops out after a few seconds.  In the audio screen I can see squiggly lines show audio for the first few seconds and then just a flat line of no audio.  I can't figure out what the problem is.  Please help!

  • Import stops after a few seconds

    I just bought a Canon Elura 80 a few months ago, and have just taped an hour of incredibly sweet baby stuff from our newborn onto a used tape (oh boy, I hope it's not the tape...) anyway, I had no trouble the first time importing using iMovie HD from an unused tape. This time, however, the tape stopped after a few minutes, even though the footage did not. I rewound, rebooted, restarted everything, and no matter what, the computer keeps stopping the tape after a few seconds.
    I'm not an experienced user by any means. Any chance there is some kind of setting or memory problem?.... It seems to want to import this clip into the pre-existing file, which is fine, since that's also baby stuff, but maybe there's a limit on how much can go in one file?... please help!

    Ok, I tried changing the settings to import as individual clips to OFF. What I did was to go into iMovie HD preferences and clicked of the button for "start a new clip with each scene break." This did not help.
    I am not sure how to change the mode of recording, but with the tape rewound all the way it only gives me 61 minutes of time, so I think that is ok.
    I don't know what the file vault program is, or how to turn it off.
    I don't have an external HD, and my camera is connected directly to my computer through a firewire, so that should be ok.
    The most frustrating thing about this is that when I play it on the camera, it plays just fine, it's just that on import the computer seems to stop the camera.
    More suggestions?
